The Calgary Flames have been rolling along quite well over the past several months. Tonight’s game with the Los Angeles Kings was one they really should have had, given the Kings were playing their second game in as many nights and that the Flames had a chance to clinch a playoff berth.
Unfortunately, the Flames ran into a brick wall in the form of 39-year-old Jarome Iginla. In a game that had all the markings of a 2004 playoff game – including tons of clutching, grabbing and physicality – the Flames looked lost at times en route to a 4-1 setback.
